From the Slow Folk newsletter, by Stacey Langford: “I wondered if maybe Slowness is actually only for the privileged. Was I an ignorant privileged twat all these years, rattling on about the benefits of Slowness? Who gives a fuck about Slow Living if you have to be at work by 7:15 in the morning and no one in the goddamn house has clean underwear? Do you need money to live Slow? Was that why we managed?” This line of thought is adjacent to the starving artist conversation. I want to believe we don’t ~~need money to live slow, and also been thinking a lot about how to cultivate said slowness even in the face of lack of resources such as time and money, or under the pressures of structural dynamics like hustle culture. I have the feeling the answer to this will be first individual, then spread to small groups (like we’re doing here) before it catches momentum and grows outside bubbles. https://open.substack.com/pub/slowfolk/p/six-months-in-the-fast-lane
